VT Solar wins the Architecture Contest
Virginia Tech wins the competition for Best Architecture. The most prestigious of all the awards, Architecture, was valued at double the points of all the other competitions. It was cited by the jurors as the most elegant and sophisticated house—a level above all those on the Mall. In this design there was No Compromise in enhancing the quality of life while integrating the technical systems of a solar house. Above is the house just before disassembly as the clouds finally break after the close of the Solar Decathlon.
